Protest against Park Geun-Hye, Nov 14, 2015 : People help Baek Nam-gi (bottom), 68, a farmer from Boseong, who fell down after being hit by a direct blast from a police water cannon during an anti-government protest in central Seoul, South Korea. Policemen continued to fire the water cannon containing capsaicin toward the farmer while he was receiving assistance. Baek remains unconscious at a Seoul hospital. "The People's Camp for Rising Up and Fighting", representing various groups of farmers, students, workers and the poor, demonstrated on November 14, 2015 to oppose South Korean President Park Geun-Hye's regime to change the labor market and monopolize the authorship of history textbooks. Policemen set up vehicle barriers and fired water cannon to disperse protesters. The organizer said 130,000 people participated in the demo, while the police estimated that 68,000 attended.
